Neighbour 'heard gunshot and arguing'

Greig Dunsmuir said he heard a gunshot shortly after midnight with “a commotion, people shouting and screaming”.

It wasn’t drawn out for long, maybe three to four minutes and that was it... it was a loud boom. The noise woke my wife up, she sat bolt upright in bed. But we didn’t think any more of it until this morning when we saw the police vehicles and cordon.

'It’s pretty shocking really, nothing ever happens here'

Will Smith, who lives near to where the bodies were found, has been speaking to reporters.

I’m a deep sleeper and didn’t hear anything, my friends told me. I walked out in my dressing gown this morning and saw the incident tent five houses down. It’s pretty shocking really, nothing ever happens here. I’ve lived here for maybe 10 years and this is the biggest thing that’s happened. I wouldn’t ever expect it to happen in King’s Lynn let alone Magdalen, it’s such a small place.
